I don't know if I fully agree with that. It's more like they have a much stronger and more cohesive spiritual lineage to draw on, so that their starting point is where many of us find ourselves only after years of struggle. Doesn't make it more right or better, and it doesn't by default mean that they are on the right path, only that it's more likely that they are. Besides, taking your first step on the "right" path as a free action of your own heart is better and more valuable than a million years of knowledge carrying you towards enlightenment, right?
